I was wondering if anyone on Earth (or even beyond) was or is working on a kit to put an IPS 1080p display into an old W or T 500, 510, 520, or 530. I know there are kits out there for installing IPS displays into a T420 or T430 and would love to have one for a W530. Those machines were the last ones with a nice, pleasant, and very welcomed center keyboard with no number pad to be found. I know this topic had been covered before but what wondering if any new developments had been made.

No IPS LCDs are to be found for *00 series, there's a LG one that fits T/W 510/20/30 and is FHD. A cable mod will likely be required.

What is the model for that? I remembered seeing a bunch of AUO panels but never seen a LG one before. You sure it is compatible with my T530 with proper EDID chip and stuff? The AUO ones aren't truly IPS Flexview, since their viewing angles can still suffer from extreme cases, unlike the UXGA panels I have.

A couple of members here have done that mod on their T/W 520 systems. I don't have a link handy but it's out there.

Nothing is really a FlexView apart from a FlexView, and these have been obsolete for a full decade now.
